(Pages, that is). As of March 8, 2013, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a new version of the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification. If you\u2019re not familiar with an I-9, here\u2019s the low-down:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Employers must complete Form I-9 to document verification of the identity and employment authorization of each new employee.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><b>This new version of the form will be mandatory for all businesses as of May 7, 2013<\/b>.<\/span> Out of the complete 9-page form, six of those pages make up the detailed instructions, two pages are the I-9 form itself (which is what both the employer and employee will complete) and the last page is the list of acceptable I-9 documents.<\/p>\n<p>So What\u2019s New?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 600;\">Revised format<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 600;\">Renamed questions<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 600;\">New 3D barcode (which will be used in the future, after technology enhancements)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As an employer, you must provide each employee with the entire 9-page form. The employee only needs to retain the actual two-page I-9 form (pages 7 and 8). <strong>Note that you do NOT need to redo existing I-9 forms for current employees.<\/strong>\u00a0However, if a current employee has temporary work authorization that is expiring, the employer must re-verify that authorization by using this new version of the I-9 form. After re-verification is complete, the employer should clip the new form to the existing one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>As of May 7, 2013<\/strong>, an employer can no longer use the old, 2009, version of the I-9 form for both new hires and re-verifications. In order to avoid a fine for failing to use the correct version, make sure that you order yours soon!
